JSI Tip 7458. Add or Remove Programs on Windows XP errors with 'Value creation failed " at line 410'?

When you try to open Add or Remove Programs, or Set Program Access and Defaults, on Windows XP SP1, you receive Value creation failed " at line 410.

This problem may occur if %SystemRoot%\System32\Shellstyle.dll is missing or damaged.

To resolve the problem, do any of the following, in order of preference:

- If %SystemRoot%\System32\class_ss.dll exists, rename it to %SystemRoot%\System32\Shellstyle.dll.

- If you have another Windows XP computer, copy %SystemRoot%\System32\Shellstyle.dll from it.

- Expand <CD-ROM:>\I386\class_ss.dl_ from the Windows XP CD-ROM to %SystemRoot%\System32\Shellstyle.dll.

- If any of the following files exists, copy one of them to %SystemRoot%\System32\Shellstyle.dll:

%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\Luna\Shell\NormalColor\Shellstyle.dll
%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\Luna\Shell\Homestead\Shellstyle.dll
%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\Luna\Shell\Metalic\Shellstyle.dll

- If any of the following files exists, rename them all to Shellsytle.dll, and copy one of them to %SystemRoot%\System32\Shellstyle.dll:

%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\Luna\Shell\NormalColor\Blue_ss.dll
%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\Luna\Homestead\Home_ss.dll
%SystemRoot%\Resources\Themes\Luna\Shell\Metalic\Metal_ss.dll
